2018 Reading Goals!

So after a fantastic year of reading in 2017 I have finally decided on my reading goals for 2018. I only have 2 goals for 2017 but they are BIG ones.

Goal number one is to read 150 books! I usually only challenge myself to read 100 books but I have increased it to 150 because of goal number two.

 Goal number two is to read all the books on the BBC 6 book challenge which can be found here.
This challenge states that the BBC believes that people have only read 6 books on this list. There are 100 books on the list. I have already read half the books on this list and I don't plan on reading the bible so there is a total of 49 books remaining but since 2 of the listed books are series it really equates to 57 books.

There are a lot of new releases I am looking forward to next year hence why I upped my reading challenge to 150 as I did not want my reading list to just be books on the BBC list.

 So that's it! My reading goals for 2018! What are your goals?

The Mindful Way To A Good Night's Sleep - Tzivia Gover Review

Image
I read this book over the span of a week, right before going to bed and I have noticed a slight improvement in my sleeping already. To fully get the benefits of this book, I think you need to constantly work at all the advice given even though some of the advice can be hard to do for some people like me ie. not using any electronics before going to bed. This book is split up into sections going through why getting a good night's sleep is beneficial, understanding your dreams and why we dream and how that affects our sleep to steps on how to actually get a good night's sleep. I really enjoyed the journaling prompts given as well as the step by step guide to meditating. I marked a lot of pages to look back on such as the breathing exercises which I found very helpful to help me in the future. I also thought the sleep/dream quotes scattered throughout this book was a nice touch.

Rebirth - Steven Long Mitchell & Craig W. Van Sickle Book Review

WARNING: Contains some spoilers! Ok so where I do begin! First I should probably explain how BIG of a Pretender fan I am. I basically grew up watching this show. I was 10 when it first aired and I even remember seeing the first advertisement on TV announcing that it was coming on and I was already hooked. After a 30 second ad I knew I needed to watch it. Watching the show was basically my childhood and early teen years. Any chance my sister and I had we would be watching it (we used to record the episodes on VHS - this was before TiVo) and re-watching it and re-watching it. We saw the 'Bank' episode (our favourite at the time) so many times that we could quote the ENTIRE episode word for word. Every word! Words that we didn't even understand. Whenever we got sent to bed early we would start quoting that episode and 40 or so minutes later we were done and more awake than ever. Are you getting how BIG a fan I am now? I was so devastated when the show got taken off air an

Caraval - Stephanie Garber Review

Do you ever love a book so much that after you finish reading it, you immediately want to reread it again...no...just me then. I wasn't even half way through reading this book when I knew that I wanted to reread it so that's exactly what I did. I started off by listening to the audiobook and wow was it amazing! Rebecca Soler that does the recording brings this story to life. She makes every character sound unique and really makes you feel like you are right there in Caraval with the characters. I gave this book 5 stars but I wanted to actually physically read it to see if I would give it the same rating as when I listened to it because the audiobook is just that good! So after rereading it I found that I did love it enough to give it 5 stars but I still found the audiobook to be slightly better than physically reading only because I could not make the story sound as good in my own voice as Rebecca Soler. I will definitely be listening to all her audiobooks which is
